UQM Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: UQM) electric motors and controllers are at the heart of the new Regen Nautic E180 all-electric outboard motor introduced this week at the Dusseldorf Boat Show. This is in addition to series-hybrid electric systems that Regen Nautic has developed for yachts, trawlers, and sailboats over 50 feet using UQM ® components.

“Working with Regen Nautic, we continue to expand the marine applications for our electric propulsion products,” said Eric R. Ridenour, President and Chief Executive Officer of UQM Technologies, Inc. “Our systems are ideally suited for marine applications which require exceptional performance, whether used in all-electric or series-hybrid propulsion systems.”

The E180 uses a UQM PowerPhase Select ® 145 electric motor and controller system, mounting them inside a traditional-looking outboard motor package. Regen Nautic says that the E180 has power-output equivalent to a 180-horsepower gas-powered outboard motor. The system is controlled via an easy-to-use push-button interface at the helm station created by Regen Nautic.

“The E180 electric system mounts and operates much like a traditional outboard motor,” said Pierre Caouette, ReGen Nautic President and Chief Operating Officer. “This provides a viable option for those wanting electric power to significantly reduce operating costs, as well as remove their carbon footprint from watersports.”

The Regen Nautic E180 will be on display at the Dusseldorf Boat Show, happening now through January 27, 2013.
